Hollie Mershon (Archbishop Carroll All-Delco) hit two free throws with four seconds left to give Drexel a 48-46 come-from-behind victory over James Madison in CAA women's basketball action Thursday.

Mershon saved 17 of her game-high 20 points for the second half to help the Dragons (9-4 overall, 2-0 CAA) erase a 15-point, first-half deficit.

Drexel's Nicki Jones hit the front end of a two-shot foul with nine seconds left to tie the game. She missed the second shot, but the ball went out of bounds off the Dukes to give the Dragons another chance.

Mershon took the inbounds pass, drove into the paint and was fouled. She hit both free throws to give Drexel its first lead of the game. Taylor Wootton and Renee Johnson-Allen chipped in with nine points each for the Dragons.
